Gore Cancels Climate Lecture In Copenhagen

Fri, 4 Dec 2009 05:36:40 +0000

COPENHAGEN — Climate campaigner Al Gore has canceled a lecture he was supposed to deliver in Copenhagen. The former vice president and Nobel Peace Prize winner had been scheduled to speak to more than 3,000 people at a Dec. 16 event hosted by the Berlingske Tidende newspaper group. The group says Gore canceled the lecture Thursday, citing unforeseen changes in his schedule. Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider says the decision was made because of "all the events going on with the summit." Dec. 16 is a key date for the meeting because that's when the ministerial segment starts. Chief editor Lisbeth Knudsen says it's a "great disappointment" that Gore canceled and that all tickets will be refunded.

Al Gore's plan B: Act crazy

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:19:30 +0000

It was Green Week last week on NBC and Al Gore came out in full comedic force. He's a master of making fun of himself, doing it with a brilliant wit and a razor sharp sense of humor (who can forget his SNL skit "Parallel Universe" when he talked about the universe in which he became president).

Newtongate: the final nail in the coffin of Enlightenment thinking

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:47:57 +0000

by Gar Lipow Carbon Fixated has now a exposed a far greater scandal than “Carbongate.” It is time to expose the fraudulent religion that worships Issac Newton, who was even fatter than Al Gore, and his silly assertions about gravity, not to mention the meaningless babble of incantations called calculus. If you own any shares in companies that produce reflecting telescopes, use differential and integral calculus, or rely on the laws of motion, I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the calculus myth has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after volumes of Newton’s private correspondence were compiled and published. I’m tempted to quote extensively, but instead simply urge you to read the whole thing .

Bob Dinneen: Reminding Al Gore: 5 'Encouraging Truths' About Ethanol

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:39:41 +0000

Having an appreciation for Al Gore's commitment to science and advocacy of responsible policies on energy, the environment, and the economy, I was disappointed by his treatment of ethanol and other biofuels in his new book, Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis. During the late 1970s, Gore was an early supporter of grain-based ethanol and other efforts to promote biofuels. Now, as he writes in his new book, Our Choice , he has changed his mind. Because of his devotion to science and the facts, I have sent him a detailed letter, filled with what I hope he'll consider encouraging, not inconvenient, truths: Encouraging Truth #1: Ethanol has come of age. Ethanol has come a long way since when Gore first championed it. With 10.5 billion gallons set to be produced and sold this year, ethanol is a major factor in America's motor fuel supply. Today's ethanol industry is helping support nearly 500,000 jobs, providing more than $20 billion in new household incomes. Last year alone, ...

Climate Depot: Everything You Need To Know About "Climategate"

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:26:47 +0000

Climate Depot is an anti-global warming website, which promotes skepticism and disbelief about the realities of climate change. The website is similar is format to The Drudge Report, and has a particular focus on criticizing Vice President Al Gore. Currently, the top story on the site is that supposedly emails from the University of East Anglia have been discovered that expose an alleged conspiracy between scientists that global warming is an exaggerated hoax. A reputable group of scientists, Real Climate has posted a response on their blog to the allegations, which point out: More interesting is what is not contained in the emails. There is no evidence of any worldwide conspiracy, no mention of George Soros nefariously funding climate research, no grand plan to 'get rid of the MWP', no admission that global warming is a hoax, no evidence of the falsifying of data, and no 'marching orders' from our socialist/communist/vegetarian overlords. The truly paranoid will put this down to the ...
